Authorities: No injuries reported in plant explosion, fire


No one was injured Monday night in explosions and a fire at a natural gas plant in southern Mississippi, authorities said. He said the plant has a capacity of 1.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas per-day, but the plant was nowhere near its capacity. The Mississippi plant removes the liquid from natural gas and ships it to utilities along the east coast, Rainey said. Jackson County Emergency Management Director Early Etheridge said the first explosion happened at 11:30 p.m., followed by a larger explosion several minutes later. The plant located near Pascagoula had just been sold to the minority owner, Enterprise Products Partner L.P., from majority owner BP.
